"Today, the Toronto Star is Canada's largest daily newspaper, with the largest readership in the country. It is published seven days a week in the Greater Toronto Area and is owned by Toronto Star Newspapers Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The newspaper is printed at its production facility, The Toronto Star Press Centre, located in Vaughan, just north of Toronto. The Press Centre houses six MAN Roland presses and its extensive capacity allows for the use of full colour throughout the newspaper every day for both editorial and advertising purposes."

"On weekdays, The Star reaches over one million Toronto area adults, surpassing the closest competitor by over three-quarters a million."

"On Saturdays, The Star reaches over 1.4 million Toronto area adults - that's 400,000 more than the Globe, Post, and Sun combined. 67% of Toronto adults who read only one Saturday paper read the Saturday Star - that's over a million (1,042,500) exclusive Saturday readers. Over the course of a week, The Star reaches over 2.1 million, or 54% of Toronto area adults (Source: NADbank 2003 Full Report, Toronto CMA 18+)."
